It works in **both the block editor (Gutenberg) and the classic editor**— same settings, same behavior, everywhere. The following actions are available: * **Save and New**: saves the current post and goes to the New Post screen. * **Save and Duplicate**: saves the post, duplicates it (as a draft) and opens the duplicate’s edit screen. * **Save and List** (a.k.a. Save and Close): saves the post and goes back to the posts list — keeping your filters and pagination. * **Save and Return**: saves the post and returns you to the page you were on just before, no matter which page. * **Save and Next**: saves the post and opens the next post’s edit screen. * **Save and Previous**: saves the post and opens the previous post’s edit screen. * **Save and View** (same or new window): saves the post and shows the post’s page on your site. Save & Go saves you a lot of time when you have multiple posts, pages or custom posts to create or modify. It works with posts, pages and custom post types, on single sites and multisite. Through the plugin’s modern settings page (its own “Save & Go” menu in the admin sidebar), you can choose which actions to show, which one is the default, and whether the Save & Go button is displayed as the primary button — with separate toggles for the block editor and the classic editor, so you can make it the default in one, the other, or both. **Bulk Add** Already know all the pages or posts your site needs? The Bulk Add page (Save & Go > Bulk Add in the admin menu) lets you create many posts, pages or custom post type entries at once: one row per post, with its title, an optional slug (auto-formatted as you type — spaces become dashes) and a status (Published, Draft, Pending review or Private). Type them in, click once, and fill in the content later. **Block editor (Gutenberg) support** Unlike older plugins of this kind, Save & Go is built for the block editor: the button sits right in the editor’s header next to the Publish button, waits for the save to finish, and then takes you to your next action. No page tricks, no disabling Gutenberg. **For developers** Extra actions can be registered from your own plugin or theme through the `save_and_go_load_actions` filter — add an instance of a class extending `Save_And_Go_Action` to the array and it will show up in the settings and in the button. **Credits** Save & Go is based on the “Improved Save Button” plugin by Label Blanc (GPLv3), rewritten and extended by Alisha Thomas with block editor support, a modernized interface and hardened code. ## Screenshots [⌊The Save & Go button in the block editor⌉⌊The Save & Go button in the block editor⌉[ The Save & Go button in the block editor [⌊The dropdown reveals all the enabled actions⌉⌊The dropdown reveals all the enabled actions⌉[ The dropdown reveals all the enabled actions [⌊The Save & Go button in the classic editor⌉⌊The Save & Go button in the classic editor⌉[ The Save & Go button in the classic editor ## Installation 1. Download Save & Go. 2. Upload the ‘save-and-go’ directory to your ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory, or install it directly from the Plugins screen. 3. Activate Save & Go from your Plugins page. 4. Visit the new ‘Save & Go’ menu in the admin sidebar to adjust the configuration to your needs. ## FAQ ### Does it work with the block editor (Gutenberg)? Yes! That is the main reason Save and Go exists. The button appears in the block editor’s header, and every action works exactly like it does in the classic editor. ### Does it work with the classic editor? Yes. If a post type uses the classic editor (or you use the Classic Editor plugin), Save & Go adds its button to the publish box like you would expect. ### Does it work with custom post types? Yes, it works with posts, pages and any custom post type that uses the standard editor. ### Where are the settings? In the ‘Save & Go’ menu in the admin sidebar, under ‘Settings’. You can choose which actions are shown, the default action, and whether the button is displayed as the primary button — separately for the block editor and the classic editor. ### Can I create many posts at once? Yes — open ‘Save & Go > Bulk Add’ in the admin sidebar. Choose a post type, enter one row per post (title, optional slug, status), and create them all in one click. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9460c5783a519152043fed2b5c99d72ba7e53df8a5991f78a489677e4d5795cc? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Extremely handy!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/extremely-handy-9/)󠁿 [Kyle Van Deusen](https://profiles.wordpress.org/skvandeusen/) August 25, 2026 As someone who publishes a lot of content, this plugin is such a huge productivity boost!

A new tab on the settings page lets you create many posts, pages or custom post type entries at once — one row per post with title, optional slug and status. Slugs are auto-formatted as you type (spaces become dashes; only letters, numbers and dashes) and auto-fill from the title until you edit them. * The settings page now has two tabs: Settings and Bulk Add. #### 1.0.2 Release Date: August 17, 2026 * Code quality: the “Save and Next/Previous” adjacent-post lookup now uses the standard WordPress query API instead of a direct database query, resolving a Plugin Check warning. #### 1.0.1 Release Date: August 17, 2026 * Fix: the block editor dropdown menu could render behind the editor sidebar. The menu now uses the browser’s native top layer (Popover API) with a fixed-position fallback, so it always appears above every panel. * Settings: “Display as the default button” is now configurable per editor — one toggle for the block editor (Gutenberg) and one for the classic editor, plus a master switch that turns both on or off at once. #### 1.0.0 Release Date: August 17, 2026 * Initial release of Save & Go by Alisha Thomas. * Full block editor (Gutenberg) support: split button in the editor header, REST- based redirection after save. * All classic actions included: Save and New, Duplicate, List, Return, Next, Previous, View (same or new window). * Brand new, modern settings page with action tiles and toggles. * Security hardening throughout: prepared SQL statements, sanitized input, escaped output, capability checks. * Based on the “Improved Save Button” plugin by Label Blanc (GPLv3) — thank you! ## Meta * Version **1.1.1** * Last updated **20 hours ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 5.8 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1** * PHP version ** 7.2 or higher ** * Tags * [custom post type](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/custom-post-type/)[productivity](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/productivity/) [publish](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/publish/)[save](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/save/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/save-and-go/advanced/) ## Ratings 5 out of 5 stars. * [ 1 5-star review ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/save-and-go/reviews/?filter=5) * [ 0 4-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/save-and-go/reviews/?filter=4) * [ 0 3-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/save-and-go/reviews/?filter=3) * [ 0 2-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/save-and-go/reviews/?filter=2) * [ 0 1-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/save-and-go/reviews/?filter=1) [Your review](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/save-and-go/reviews/#new-post) [See all reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/save-and-go/reviews/) ## Contributors * [ Alisha Thomas ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/eightysevenweb/) ## Support Got something to say?
